NEW DELHI: Reacting to a Canadian inquiry commission report about alleged activities related to "purported interference" by foreign countries, including India, the Centre slammed Ottawa, saying it has been, in fact, consistently interfering in Delhi's affairs.
This has created an environment for illegal migration and organised criminal activities, MEA said in a late night statement rejecting the report. "We reject the report's insinuations on India and expect that the support system enabling illegal migration will not be further countenanced," it said.
According to reports from Canada earlier in the day, an inquiry into foreign interference in Canada's recent elections called on intelligence agencies and federal govt to urgently reform how they respond to meddling by China, India and other state actors before the next national vote.
The report alleges that India is the second most active country engaging in foreign interference in Canada. "It uses disinformation as a key tactic that may be used more often in the future, and it may have attempted to clandestinely provide financial support to preferred candidates during the 2021 elections without candidates' knowledge," it says.
